We loved our stay at this beautiful resort. Loved the views from the balcony. Clean and spacious. We went for some great walks around the lake front and also up to the winery across the road. Domaine-Thomson. Handy to Wānaka & Queenstown. Will definitely stay again.

Blinds didn't fit the bedroom windows. Kitchen utensils and frying pans were in an awful state. People above us were extremely noisy most of the night. I had accepted a $40 upgrade, i wish i hadn't, very disappointed and total waste of money.
